inch in size it is transferred to a centrifugal
machine. whose drum is pieced with holes and
lined with a linen sack, which is finally taken
out with che butter. AS soon as the machine is
set in rapid motion the buttermilk begins to es-
cape, and a spray of water thrown into the
churn washes out all foreign matters adhering
to the butter The wash is kept UP until all this
comes away clean, and the revolution is then
continued till the last drop of water is removed,

Boston's Literary Aristocracy.

I fear there will be some difficulty in
establishing the proposed Authors
club in Boston and for the following
reasons: Authorship is, with us, an
aristocracy and not a republic; and all
available genius has long since been
apportioned among the few great names
that have made our city a literary IN r.
ace and wonder among nations. We
have produced some four or five prodi-
gies of intellect, and evolution can 90
no further. Now to start an authors
club upon cosmopolitan basis is to
imply that there is talent outside this
particular talent-that there may be
authors who are not these particular
authors. Imagine the degradation to
our literary aristocracy if it were COM

But He Was Long on Elk.

John Short, a long-legged miner
who can leap like a kangaroo, lately
ran down a couple of six-pronged bull
elk in the deep snow on Big Creek.
It was perhaps the most exciting and
remarkable chase of animals ever
known in the northern region of the
world. He chased the big racers over
nine miles on foot with heavy Sharp's
rifle on his shoulde er and b:g overcoat
on his arm. He chased them until
sheer exhaustion compelled them to
halt and himself to lie down painting,
throbbin g and perspiring behind a
juniper tree. After while he banged
away at them, the sights of his gun
bobbing up and down in obedience to
the big throbs of his pulse. The
doomed creatures bowed their royal
horns to the snow, rs the erring shots
flew fast from the smoky jumper, and
bleated for mercy. He killed them,
but it took all the cartridges in his belt
and mostly all his breath in his body.
